If you should ever get married, John,

Just big enough for two.
And one spare room for company,
And one spate bed within it
And if you begin lore' life aright,
You'd better thus begin it.

And let the stuffed chairs wait.
One looking-glass will do for holb

And Itrusaelt, too, and other things
Which makes a Ane appearance,
If yon eaa belter afford it, they
Will look better a year henoe.

Your wife will be a pioturo, John,
Let I hit suffice for you.

For love, to make the biscuit rise,

When It hnii(t over a niau who lias
No money in bis wallet,
And now, when you are married, John,
Don't try to ape the rich ;

To gaiu their envied niche.
And if you shouid gain the summit, John,

Whether tho twain, io time, would

Tho nlr of moody metsnchcly with

"I nm sure, mstlsm," Mr. Sorelcaf

It was 8m weeks later that Saul
presented himuif at my office and re
quested n private ioterviow. We at
once withdrew to an inner room,
where, with much hesitation and
nianny blunhcs, tho story ol the "pro

reader already bns it ; after which
Mr. Serelcuf placed in my hands thn
following billet, which bo had just re
ceived :

We desire an early and cxp'iei t uunwer
to the question: lj you intend to
marry her or do you not ?
Yours, etc.,

It wns so much like the Ilurdell and
Pickwick case, and tho letter sounded
ao Ilodson tc Foi;gisli that it was im
possible to suppress a smile.
"Whit's to be dono?" queried Saul
anxiously.
"First snd formost you might niur
ry the Indf "
Saul shuddered.
"Io tbe next plice " Het what
passed was under the seal of profes
sional confidence
I despatched a nolo Io Messrs.
Schuysler & Skinner, soliciting, as
Mr. Here Irs fs attorney, a coolerenco
on tho following day, and asking
tbem to have their client present.
At tho appointed hour, I found tbe
lady and ber legal advisers drawn up
in order of battle.
"This is a singular case,'' I be
gan. It's a very plain one, at all events,"
interrupted Schuystor. In addition
to oar clients testimony, we have that
of another respectable lady, to whom
Mr, 8erelenf made a full and free con
fession oo tbe spot.
"I have not come to nrgue tbe rase,"
I answered, "but to propose terms of
settlement."
The firm conjointly Tabbed their
bands in anticipation of money to be
handled.
"Please send yonr boy to conduot
hither a gentleman waiting ia a car
riage at tbe door,' I aJJed
Schoyster looked at skinner, and
the widow at us all, but the boy was
sent.
At the end of sovenl minutes sj
ilumpiiKj sound wsa heard. The door
opened, and a decripit shriveled fig
ure, supported by one leg snd a erutob,
hubblod io. Ooo of Switl's Utruld
bragt could scarcely have looked more
gnoicut or dilapidated. He was" rain
ua an eye, hollow-cheeked, toothless,
aud bald as Time.
"I have come to make a personal
tenJer of my client, gentlemen,'1 1
said, "in fulfillment of the contract he
is neeui-ed of making with yours. Tbi
is Mr. 8erelcaf."
Tbe wMow ttartod in amazement
as first sloo'k of iooredulity, and then
ooo of convietion flashed ovor ther
eountenaoco.
" Take bim away, fako bin away J
he cried.
"The wig, cork leg, glass eye, fult
teeth and pluicpeas are aH!bero io the

Tbe widow stsyed to hear ao mora.
Her lawyers bad ashrewd suspi

that, bad their client accepted, mine
would have . backed out But they

It was tbe conviction of my friend
that whnt is mot desired In n lawyer
is a certain cool judgement, which
holds on to tho main point in a given
case, und Allows no side issues to
warp the mind Irani its snehored posi
tion. I have often hrird him any.
"In the end, tho lawyer vh', having
